BE A YAAMA

Once upon a time

There was a running river called Yaama

Yaama decided to travel far

To join a sea called Paamo

On her way

She met a block

She tried to cross 

But the block still blocked

All she could do was to stay there

The block was furious and had to ask

“Yaama, you’ve been here for four good years

I can feel my bones so soaked up

When will you give up and turn back?”

“Just as you are, you give me hope

That my dream of joining Paamo my soon come true

I won’t move an inch, until you give me way

And I don’t care if you have to fall”

This was the reply of Yaama

As soon as she finished the block fell hard

And off she went to join the sea

When Paamo asked what took it so long

She just shrugged and said

“Entanglers make travelling exciting”

Be a Yaama today
